[PATCH 2/3] git p4 test: should honor symlink in p4 client root

From
PWPete Wyckoff <pw@padd.com>
Date
Mar 7, 2013, 23:19 UTC
Message-ID
<1362698357-7334-3-git-send-email-pw@padd.com>
In-Reply-To
<1362698357-7334-1-git-send-email-pw@padd.com>

This test fails when the p4 client root includes a symlink. It complains:

    Path /vol/bar/projects/foo/... is not under client root /p/foo
and dumps a traceback.
